Pretty much a must-have for anyone looking to use a quest 2 often. I’ve had it for a while now and it works great. I’ve never had it break on me, putting it on is very easy and it really improves my experience with the quest 2. I’ve noticed the plastic which connects the back of the strap has had some green/yellow discolouration, although this hasn’t impacted my experience with it. Overall a great product, much cheaper than what Meta offers with still great durability. Highly recommend.
This headstrap is one of the best I’d seen on YouTube advertised or promoted, and I’d originally tried a different one which was met with frustration over the headstrap not keeping the headset in place when I moved my head (or didn’t, and it simply slipped) which this headstrap fixed almost like someone took a magic wand and poofed my problems away.
The quality is perfect, and the system to clip or unclip the padding works just as intended and lets it fit perfectly in the carrying case I bought to fit the old headstrap.
The fit on the strap is perfect and the mechanic to twist it to fit my head is perfect. My ONLY two gripes are that this strap is that if I move my head too fast, it can loosen during the movement and slightly move out of place, causing me to readjust but it’s fine for 99% of my games on the quest, considering I mainly play Beat Sober and casual/artsy simulators at the moment. My other gripe is that the clicking when tightening the strap can be quite loud, but it’s fine as long as you’re not constantly tightening over and over again.
Overall, I love this headstrap to pieces, and recommend this to anyone looking for a sturdy headstrap that can be practically disassembled to fit in small spaces and one that allows you to adjust to your own head size giving you a perfect and accurate fit with as little faff as possible. This is also helped by the feature of the headset that allows you to either raise the front of the headset or the back of the headstrap which allows for easy removability, without having to re-adjust for every time you remove or put on the headset. (although I recommend making sure it’s perfect when you put it back on)
This arrived the day after I ordered it (I don’t have prime) and makes a massivef difference. It is very compfortable to wear, especially compared to the standard strap that comes with the Oculus. It has also solved the problem I was having – when I was exercising using the Oculus, the headset which keep slipping down so that the whole thing went out of focus. This is now much better!
This has made the Meta Quest 2 headset so much more comfortable. I needed this with the original Occulus, but did not know it. I can game play longer more comfortably, so I am so glad I bought this.
I got this headstrap along with the handgrips and lens cover. Best purchase I ever did for my quest 2. I had the headstrap since 11th Jan 2022 and its works like brand new. It allows me to game +6 hrs without motion blur with it being strapped firmly around my head without adding too much weight. Thanks to the strap in the middle taking the load off from the forehead it greatly helps with my immersion as I keep forgetting I have a headset on.
Previously owned a Rift S and found the Quest 2 head band pants, the Kiwi replacement exceeds the Rift one – Very happy. Super easy to fit and use.
Had the other headstrap that was awful and broke apart. This one is comfortable and doesn’t leave the gapping at the bottom the other one did, it fits closer to the face and really acts as a barrier from light so much better.
My sons love this new strap for their VR headset. Easy to wear and much more comfortable than original strap. Easy to change size between players. Great buy.
This strap is excellent. The wheel crank in the back works flawlessly. The top strap really helps redistribute weight to the back. I get a very secure seal on the front mask and it does not move around at all. Highly recommended
I was lucky enough to get the.Meta quest this year for Christmas a great bit of kit it is too, but the head strap that comes with it is rubbish and very poor for something that cost 400 pounds, if you have kids the strap doesn’t fit there head that well, and you will be worried that the head unit will just fall in the floor and break, this new head strap is a must have very sturdy and worth the money, yes it’s quite expensive for what it is but it’s a game changer when you have it on your head, easy To adjust for small and larger heads in a quick time, also the head set flips up rather than taking it off so a must have in my opinion.
I bought mine after seeing a ton of youtube reviews, glad I did
A LOT more comfortable than the standard strap, can play for hours with no fatigue
There is a new version with a battery pack if that’s your thing but I didn’t want the extra weight on my head.
Really pleased with the comfort this offers
It is a very comfy head strap and is quite sturdy and balanced on my head. However it can be a bit tricky to install. The instructions are very clear and simple though. Thanks Kiwi!
The rear does stick out more than the standard strap. This can be a little uncomfortable if you sit resting the back of your head on something e.g sofa back. for standing games really secure and stays in place well, huge improvement over the standard strap.
Great quality, easy to install, very comfortable. Feels built to last. Only gripe is the price which seems a bit rich for an accessory for a toy!
I also splashed out on KIWI design’s controller grip/covers and their visor inserts. Highly recommend both of these also, real game changers. Yesterday played a full battery’s worth without taking it off which I could never manage before! Although perhaps that’s not a good thing..
The lift-up function isn’t quite as good as I was hoping – it works but feels a little awkward. Maybe just takes some getting used to.
This is the second aftermarket headstrap I’ve tried and it’s far better than the old one (Eyglo Q2), which instantly feels cheap and crappy next to this.
It seems pretty light and secure too and I haven’t had any problems with it slipping while playing more vigorous games like Eleven, Echo, Beatsaber etc.
It was easy enough to install. The only challenge I had was getting the over head strap through the loop on the quest but that’s more to do with the design or the Quest rather than this strap. I found it helped to bend the tip of the Velcro a bit first.
constantly adjusting the strap that came with the oculus was exhausting, and it couldn’t support the weight of the headpiece itself. but this product does a great job!!! you can tighten it with a little knob on the back, a lot easier than the default strap, and the cushion on the back and top of the head is perfect, im comfortable wearing my oculus for much longer!!! not to mention, installation took me like 10 seconds, so it’s nothing challenging. this is a must for oculus owners!
This head strap is great, easy and quick to adjust just by turning the back knob, this is soft and has cushion and comfort as well as were ght distribution. Way better than what comes with a VR headset.
This thing is a game changer! Feels super secure and distributes the weight wonderfully. The original head strap that comes with the quest 2 gave me a headache from having it push so hard on my face just to feel like it was staying but this one is nothing but comfort. Love the turn knob to adjust. That was another issue with the original head strap. It was like I just couldn’t get it right then had to constantly adjust it between my husband and I playing. Made me not want to play as much because it was such a pain. Not this one though!! Love the turn knob adjustment! So easy and it gets just right. Also the head strap has a lot of padding so it’s comfy on top of your head as well. I didn’t give much thought for the tilt feature until I used it for the first time. I wear glasses so the tilt comes in very handy getting the VR off and on. My husband uses the tilt feature as well when he’s playing but wants to come out of VR for a minute or so without having to take it completely off. We haven’t used the battery strap yet so I don’t have an honest opinion on that. If it doesn’t work out I’ll come back and edit this review.
It meets my expectations and offers a much better experience than the original strap. From what I have seen Kiwi is a company that makes decent aftermarket products for VRs, already ordered from them the grips for the controllers and I am waiting for them to arrive.
Heyfor a few bucks you can’t go wrong. They certainly make the volume a bit louder. No great shakes but not bad. Only knock is that you can easily rip one or the other off the headset if you’re not careful.
The headband is comfortable and easy to install. The optinal power bank holder can be attached to the headband quickly and it does not wiggle much. I am happy with the product, it is a shame that you need 3rd party accessories for your headset, but at least you can upgrade your experience.
This strap is amazing. I’ve been using my Quest 2 for a month now with the original strap, which is extremely uncomfortable. This Kiwi strap is both incredibly comfortable and redistributes the weight of the headset more evenly. In the past, I couldn’t play for more than a 30 minutes without my neck bothering me. I’ve not had any neck discomfort with this new strap, and the headset stays in place better with games that require more intense movement. Assembly took just a couple of minutes. This strap is also great for multiple users as you can adjust it easily. Highly recommended!
Please note I have tried NO other headstrap except the one the Meta / Oculus comes with.
I was having really bad headaches from the original strap and it was very uncomfortable to wear and came across this one. It arrived promptly and I fitted it and tried it on. The difference was night and day between the two straps! I have no headaches from wearing this for hours at a time (sometime 6-8 hours constant.) for comparison the original strap was giving me a pressure headache within 20mins of putting it on.
I bought the headstrap with the additional battery holder and have placed a reasonably weighted battery inside it and it makes a big difference to the weight distribution of the headgear. If you have a problem with the machine being front heavy weighting this strap at the back appears to be the solution to that and it’s a bonus that you can plug in your battery pack for extra time if you are not running your headset from the Mains.
I am unsure how strong the strap is because I have been quite careful with it as I’m not sure about the plastic sides ( if they will break with bending for example, so I have tried to not be too rough with it)
But all in all the strap is very comfy to wear and has changed my VR gaming for the better. I will not ever go back to the original strap after wearing this.
By far the best head strap I’ve used among my group of friends who’ve all gotten 3rd party head straps; It is super easy to use and adjust. I’ve found that the rotating joint near the front, when set up right, allows you to flip up the headset like with the Vive Cosmos. It’s made from durable and high-quality material being so comfy I forget it’s strapped to my face at times (which normally ends in injury but that’s just me). The only problem I have with it is that back won’t click in properly so it’s not secure and will just fall out when given the chance (I’m hoping support sees this and is able to fix it since I cant find where else to get their attention). Overall, really good head strap.
A game changer no slipping very easy to adjust and extremely comfortable over longer sessions on the oculus
I tested the headstrap as my friend had it and I immediately oredered it. Added bonus as it was on sale.
This should be the default head strap for the Quest 2 imho. For my needs and head it’s perfect and very well made. Excellent design and love the minimalist packaging.
The best headstrap of them all. Having gone through quite a few headstraps, to find that perfects fit – I can tell you that Kiwi design wins gold in comfort and quality. Much better than the Elite Strap, as a) it does not break b) better padding c) hinges to move HMD up. Hands down the best choice.
Product works and feels of quality, but I keep getting annoyed of the bulky rear hitting my wall and preventing me from looking upward.
Definitely a go-to if you want long term comfort with nice adjustments for quickly tightening the headset to your head. Just may not work well for those who plan to sit against a wall or chair because the bulky rear of the strap will constantly hit your wall and prevent you from looking up by pressing on your neck.
Another great product from KIWI. I’ve tried the stock and halo strap. Both gave headaches after varying times. This strap is fantastic. Easy to put on n take off. Very comfortable. I was able to attach my Bionik Mantis attachment earphones, though it’s a tight fit. But once it’s on, it’s solid.
I have have had the elite strap since having the quest 2 and often found it uncomfortable. This strap works very similarly to the elite strap but the top and rear padding is much better. It stills smashes the headset into your face though so you want a replacement facial interface that has extra padding. I have also used the bobovr m2 plus strap and that was much more comfortable on the face but I found it wanted to slip on the back of my head so never felt safe using it.
As per other reviews the product is of a high quality and does improves comfort when wearing the headset manyfold. Worth spending a bit extra for the quality
My son brought this for his VR as the main headset can be uncomfortable..he has autism so feels things slightly different- he is really happy with this,said it is lots more comfortable & made gaming better!
It is so comfy the only thing we cant get to work is it moving up so it sits on top of our head it’s not secure enough it just falls off.
Easy to enlarge or shorten to fit the head. Much more comfortable than the original headstrap. Fairly sturdy and I’ve absolutely no regrets about the purchase.
Bought this to replace a BoboVR M2 strap that suffered the dreaded cracking and thought I’d test this out.
I find it less comfortable, though a tad more secure. Probably why it’s less comfortable as it definitely squeezes the face harder. It also has one of the components already splitting apart, although I’m pretty sure this is manufacturing error rather than any consistent flaw with KIWI’s design. It does seem to do a better job of shutting out extraneous light, too.
I guess I just prefer the way the BOBO works. I think there would be just as many who prefer this but it’s not for me.
Having recently bought a quest 2 and began a VR fitness regime I soon found the original strap is a load of old crap. I saw this band recommended on YouTube so decided to give it a go and I’m very glad I did. I literally only received it and installed in this morning but the improvement to comfort and, more importantly, stability is instantly obvious. If anyone is familiar with the PSVR then it feels like that but even better with the dome hugging pad at the rear and dial to tighten / loosen the strap. In fact it’s the dial that stops this being 5 star because it has a rather loud ratchet sound when tightening however that’s such a knit pick I kinda feeling bad penalising for it….
If you’re serious about using VR and especially the more physical games then 100% give this a go, it’s amazing.
If you’ve purchased a quest 2 and plan on actually using it, do yourself and your skull a favour and buy this strap, extremely comfortable even for long periods of time.
Fantastic sturdy strap than can easily be adjusted so you can see the real world when needed
Very easy to assemble, sits comfortably on head and the angle is very useful to get centred with our removing the vr.
Much more stable than the stock head strap, the circle at the back helps it sit perfectly on your head, and the twists tighten option is much more usable than messing with the elastic strap.
Came surprisingly compact packed, thought it was the wrong product to start with.
Make sure you follow the instructions for attaching the back circle, it only goes one way.
The original strap would leave me with headaches and neck strain. Not to mention constantly adjusting the headset as it continuosly slid down my face. This think balances it out nicely and makes it so much more comfortable for a fraction of the cost of the official version.
Very happy with this, it certainly makes wearing the headset more comfortable that the original Quest 2 strap, meaning I can play for longer without getting a sore head. Has the added bonus of being easier to take on and off as well.
This strap has been a godsent. I can play without that default strap nor do I have to purchase the faulty pro strap. This is comfortable enough and does the job in holding the set to my face.
This is spot on, cheap, reliable and does the job. Kiwi have some brilliant stuff for the quest 2.
Mostly very comfortable, though there is some slight pressure around the eyes as it tightens from the sides, just make sure the top strap is doing most of the supporting. Much, much more comfortable than the default strap though. Quick to remove & put on. Hinges are great if you need to check your phone or do anything nearby.
I bought one of Meta’s pro headsets to have it fall apart in months. Just got the Kiwi after market and the item is what I thought the Meta brace should be like. The tension setting are fine tuned, the head brace is comfortable, how it straps onto the Quest 2 is firm, I have not tried the battery holder but at least this has that option. Until I get a Vibe or Index, this is what I will be using. If it last a year it will be worth the 60$.
Exactly what i needed for my quest 2 very comfy on my head even after long sessions of play defo must buy if you have a vr head set, size adjustable to
After careful consideration I bought this headstrap from KIWI. Needless to say it is a must have improvement over the standard quest 2 strap. Much comfier and allows for a reduced load on your nose and forehead when playing for longer durations. Due to the quality being so good I went on to buy more products from KIWI including a cable and controller grips and have been impressed by both of them. Definitely recommend brand and items
It’s so cushiony and comfortable, plus it feels way more stable than the default strap. Still feels weighty but no strap is going to reduce the weight of a headset on your cheeks, but the weight distribution is way more comfortable. Worth every penny for long play sessions, it’s an absolute must!
This headset replacement changed the VR game for us! This I feel has balanced out the headseat so well with some nifty features such as the arms moving up and down for ease of putting on and taking off (especially my fellow glasses wearers). You feel one with the headset and I find that the back of my head isn’t hurting. Before a lot of the pressure was right at the base of the skull holding onto so much of the front of the headset weight making it hard to play for extended hours especially for those who have Chiari. I can enjoy playing VR without the headaches due to pressure in that area.
Full on comfort but also I feel it enhances the gaming experience as a whole a must buy. Divorce the strap that came with it asap, you will be left wondering why you didn’t do it sooner once this is on your noggin!
Easy to attach and sturdy doesn’t feel like thin cheap plastic my son is quite heavy handed and has had this awhile now and no issue its so much more comfortable and better fitted than the standard strap would highly recommend
After a lot of research I concluded that this is the best strap for the Quest 2, this should be your first upgrade (second should be the VR Cover facial interface)
There’s no going back after using this honestly the comfort compared to the original strap is absurd
After trying a cheaper strap I decided to go for this one, arrived quickly, seems a good quality product, loads of foam on top and back, much better than the cheaper one as regards comfort.
Do bear in mind that because of the design of the Quest 2 there is no such thing as an absolutely perfect strap, there will always be some pressure on the head because of the weight of the headset, but this Kiwi strap keeps that pressure to a minimum.
Could be a little cheaper, probably 35 would have been a better price but otherwise satisfied with product.
Easy to install and use, much more comfortable than the default strap, extended playtime much more pleasant, easy to adjust and stops the dreaded ‘rocking’ that can occur in more physical games. Basically a very comfortable vice grip that is infinitely adjustable. Pretty expensive though, but worth it.
This is far more comfortable than the strap that came with the Oculus Quest 2. I can now wear it for much longer without any pain.
It does seem to loosen up after a bit, so I have to fuss with it and refit it often, but it is way better than the original strap, so I don’t mind.
The original strap was a real pain to alter when going from one family member to another. This has taken that problem away whilst also be far more comfortable for extended use. I found it a bit fiddly installing the top strap but other than that it was trivial. Highly recommended.
It is simple to assemble and to put it onto your headset and it is way more comfortable than the original strap that somes with the Oculus. I currently haven’t had any problem with it so I recomend it for any oculus Gamer. It is a necessary item to have to have the perfect experience while playing.
This thing is great. Just know you can’t lift it off your head by the joints if you have glasses on. It’s so much better than the strap the quest 2 came with and is a much better price than the official strap.
Edit 25/07/22 * shortly after posting this review the team at kiwi contacted me and offered to send a replacement for the cracked headband. I have raised this from 3 to 4 stars because I am always happy for good customer service. Will bump to 5 if this strap lasts even longer
I bought this product in march 2022. Since then I’ve used it maximum 10 times however after going to use it the most recent time I noticed the right side of the strap is cracked and mid way through a beat saber session the strap just popped off causing me to have to catch my headset. I’m not sure why this has happened as I haven’t dropped it nor have I used it very often. Maybe a faulty unit ?
However when it was working it made the headset so much better to use and comfort was amazing the adjustment made it easy to take on and off when needed. The storage with the original Oculus quest 2 case from Oculus fits nicely also.
Well I was hoping it would be very comfy and not press on the face like the stock strap does, sadly this also pushes on your face and in same cased its uncomfortable and after a long session like a couple of hours I am left with slight red marks on my face, sure its not as bad as using the original stock strap.
I was also expecting a sturdy strap once fitted, sadly its flimsy and I do worry at some point the side plastic straps will crack and or snap or the dial at the back will break over time with day to day uses (i.e. every day or two), but I kept my old stock strap just in case.
Overall I think it was a tad bit pricy for what you actually get and the quality of it, but at the same time I do like it, just hoped more for that price.
I did some research on the third party head straps available for the Oculus Quest 2 and this one seemed to have the most favourable reviews, though it was a bit pricey. Nevertheless, it soon became apparent that it was absolutely worth the money – it’s just impossible to go back to the abomination that is the default strap for the Quest 2 after using this.
I had no issues with this strap and if I hadn’t have stumbled upon a better one for my needs, this would be my main strap for sure.
Can always count on Kiwi for quality products.
Easy to fit, sits on the head securely without much pressure on the face. totally comfortable all round. Really compliments the Oculus Quest two. Sorry I cannot comment on its durability as have only had it a week but judging by its material and sturdiness I trust it to take a lot of use without fault if used responsibly.
After a previous disappointment , i thought i’d try again to get a support strap. This is sound, it really improves the positioning of the headset. There also less strain on the back of your head than the elasticated strap. Its has a novel head adjustment at the back and you can flip the headset up and still have it on your head to do other things. A Decent price too, so no complaints.
Fitting in minutes without any issues and has stopped the constant whining about how uncomfortable the VR is. We have a mixture of head sizes in our house from kids to adults and the adjustment is very simple.
I can’t comment on the durability yet as we have only had it for a couple of days.
At first i didnt think it was that good but that was because my stupid brain put the back head plate on upside down.,…. when i realised that i changed it and now its so comfy and i can play for hours at a time with no discomfo
My son loves this and finds his headset much more comfortable. Half the price almost of them official one but just as good in our opinion.
Once on it does make it a little too big for the official quest pod case tho so just bare in mind in you use the case for travel as doesn’t fit.
Fits my head perfectly and stays in place during harsh Beatsaber sessions!
Quality seems to be good and as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you!
Easy to set up, make sure to watch the video in the listing though and be gentle when removing the standard headstrap connector clips.
It’s easy to adjust and is worth every penny!
If mine breaks I’ll be sure to come here for another one! 100% would recommend!
Overall, the head strap is great. It is comfortable, and easily adjustable, with a nice cushion for the back head rest, and top strap. It is easy to assemble, with good instructions (however they do not say to/how to remove the old strap from your quest, but I had done it before).
The feel of it is good, but has a couple issues to get used to, but are in no ways deal breakers from what I have used of the product so far. The strap provides little counterweight to the quest, so when adjusting the top strap before the back one (something you should always do), it falls forward. This could be fixed by getting a battery pack for it, to provide some extra weight to the back. The angle adjustment is great, but my head can get in the way of it fully tilting up, and as easily as shows. However, it does make it easy to put on/off. I had to apply a decent amount of pressure to prevent it from shaking when shaking my head, but when playing beat saber this shaking was unnoticeable, and thanks to the cushion head strap, I had no vr face after use. You could use it lighter with practically the same amount of shaking, but you get a bit more light leaking in. Solvable with a different facial interface I am sure though.
TLDR: Good headset. Easy to install, with good comfort. It just takes some time to adjust to from the default one.
So I bought this strap when amazon gave me a refund for my elite strap.
And I’m so glad I bought this one. Its 5 times are comfortable and 10 times as strong.
The adjustment is just alot more easier then the elite strap. You have the front that can lift up and you have the padding at the back of your head….honestly? I can’t recommend this enough, the only thing I gave 4 stars n not 5 for is the cost…..because..well…who doesn’t want things cheaper lol
been using this headstrap since day one of me getting my oculus 2 which was 2 months ago. really comfortable if abit of a pain to set up initially. unfortunately with my one, the valcro is starting to lose its grip so I’m having to tighten it up harder which inst ideal.
like with the kiwi upgraded handstraps, I would recommend this if it wasn’t for the very early malfunction of the valcro as it is a really good headstrap
Makes the headset more comfortable to wear. It takes some of the weight off the face. 100% would recommend using one instead of strap supplied with occulous.
I have tried a few 3rd party straps now. I think around 5 and they all hurt my head after an hour or so of using the headset. Kiwi’s one however, holy cow this is perfect! It has the thickest padding out of all the ones I have tried and really takes the weight off your face and neck. I finally finished Half-Life Alyx, something I was finding hard due to the headaches caused by the other straps. I found myself in game for 3.5 hours without feeling any bad effects from this strap. Yes, I’ve tried others with the same sort of design, the ones with the fast tighten at the back of the head, but this one blows the others out of the water. Its even better than the Elite strap!
Ita a bit pricy, but I’ve found this strap to be incredibly comfortable. Much better than the base elastic strap and fits my giant head very nicely.
Would be a 5 star if the price wasn’t so high
This thing is amazing!
After seeing the reports of Elite Straps, I saw a recommendation for the Kiwi strap that is basically seen as an elite strap. Would one say a knockoff? You could, but it is absolutely awesome!
The cushion on the back and the strap on your head is so great.
The device clips onto the Quest so nicely.
Easy to control the tightening and even has the ability to fold up the quest 2 so you can look around without guardian mode.
It also comes with a Power Bank Strap. I used mine on it and it fits nice.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get a better headset than the default one, because when others in posts or in videos tell you it’s garbo, they ain’t lying! Even me just lifting out my quest 2 for the first time, I was like “dude this looks and feels flimsy”.
Beforehand I was using the default Quest 2 strap – that was a disaster. After doing research I found that the officially licensed Quest 2 elite strap was of very unreliable quality. I came across this strap and with good reviews for a similar price point; I can say for sure that this has not disappoint. It’s comfy and although I still get motion sickness from VR, this strap has 100% improved how long I can play.
Finally, adjusting the strap is a breeze and if you ever have anyone else try it you’ll notice its a million times better than the original. Buy it!
I’m quite unexperienced in VR. The elite strap should have grooves on the adjustment wheel, but other than that, it is comfortable and easy to set up. I do have a hard time lining up the headset with my eyes, so the image won’t look blurry, your mileage may vary. Overall, worth the purchase.
After a month of use, I’ve encountered some problems.
If you have messy hair and are adjusting the top velcro your hair might get stuck under it.
I like to use the adjustment wheel to make it as small as possible to store it on a nightstand, which will bend the plastic a little and I fear it might break at some point, the plastic does seem flexible enough to stay like it.
Under the adjustment wheel there is a small crack on the plastic, for now it doesn’t seem to affect the strap. Most likely cause is tightening the strap too hard.
The 45 degree angle that the headset can pivot is handy and can be good for people with classes.
I wasn’t too optimistic when buying this product as the default/stock Quest 2 strap really wasn’t great.
After reading some reviews on the best straps in different categories, KIWI’s always came around the top 3, so I bought it.
What a game changer this is! I could usually only play VR for maybe 30 mins or so before the stock headstrap became very uncomfortable. To add to that, it also played up with my motion sickness.
Not only this is headset comfortable, it’s also allowed me to play more VR for long lengths of time! This is 100% worth the money and I always look forward to playing VR now, this headstrap is one of the main reasons why!
I would recommend this to all Oculus users and find it would be even amazing if Oculus itself would team up and make this the strap that is sold with the Oculus Quest 2 as default what an amazing job you have done with this product kiwi designs you have outdone yourself I’ll be looking forward to trying more of your products in the near future….
After some research I found there are 3 choices.
The Oculus Elite strap – which is undoubtedly excellent, but is also prone to breaking.
The BoboVR M2 – which is apparently superb, but finding one in the UK is difficult at time of writing.
The Kiwi Design Elite strap – which is absolutely brilliant and also easy to buy!
What this, and the other improved straps, do is that they distribute the weight of the Oculus (it is not exactly heavy) better across your head and have much better padding.
The result of all of that is comfort levels that allow you to play for as long as you wish (or the battery lasts)!
Fitting it is simple enough. just watch the youtube video and it becomes obvious.
Others on here have written in more detail, so if you want more, go read them.
I will just say, if you buy this, you won’t be disappointed and you will understand why people do this upgrade.
Thanks for reading, I hope you found the review useful.
After some research I found there are 3 choices.
The Oculus Elite strap – which is undoubtedly excellent, but is also prone to breaking.
The BoboVR M2 – which is apparently superb, but finding one in the UK is difficult at time of writing.

Nice headband, seems very durable and is very comfortable. The tilting function allows me to use a proper headset on top of my quest giving me the full on VR experience.
This is by far the most comfortable headset I have purchased for my Quest 2. I would buy this again for my second one.
I like it. My head doesn’t hurt after hours of playing. It makes the headset comfortable to wear. Good build quality, nice materials, doesn’t feel cheap. The battery strap holds the power bank properly, it also has cable management.
i have used this for a wild now, and it is the best straps i have bought to my quest 2, i love the tifght fit, and as well how flexible it is, i am not afraid that this will brake like oculius strap will, i reccoment this product . why wait, buy oit now
It doesn’t fit in my travel case but it is a great strap
It’s actually the first time a buy something like this and I have to say that I was actually surprised. It’s the middle range product, with this I mean it’s not too cheap and it doesn’t feel like it, and at the same time it’s not too expensive.
My impression when I used it is that the visor actually is well balanced on my head, with this I mean that it doesn’t feel like all the weight is at the front, so weighing on cheek bones.
It feels sturdy enough to support for long plays, as I love playing beat saber I find myself wearing the headset for a couple of hours with no issue. With this new gadget the weight of the headset feels well distributed on and around my head, which is the reason why I bought it in the first place.
It really changed the way I play games on the oculus.
The only downside is that it doesn’t fit a standard oculus case, I need to remove the padding to be able to close the case.
But that’s just a minor issue that is compensated by the actual comfort.
I would recommend this product to other oculus users?! Yes, definitely.
Have fun and stay safe.

Dies ist ein must have Zubehr! Das original Kopfband ist lediglich ein Gummiband. Bei dieser Halterung habt ihr einen stabilen Halt am Hinterkopf, sowie die Mglichkeit, das Headset nach oben zu klappen, um zum Beispiel was zu trinken. Game Changer!
Easy to use…..and its so much more comfortable than the original strap!!!
Takes alot of the pressure off ya face!!!
Highly recommend !!!!!!!
Major update when opening box padding fell out and when getting everything back together I found it and works great giving 5 sta
vraiment pas du par le produit, trs facile a installer a part la petite sangle a passer dans l’encoche du casque mais suffit de la courber un peu a la main et a fini par passer tout seul.
trs confortable, quilibre bien le poids du casque avec la batterie derrire , a a l’air solide les plastique ont l’air relativement pais.
le serrage du casque est trs bien ,on visse pour serrer le casque on dvisse pour desserrer
je connaissais pas cette marque mais si le reste de leur produit sont aussi bien fait je n’achterais que chez eux pour mon quest 2
bref foncez !
very comfortable, will fit adult and child heads. the arms aren’t floppy like the OEM ones so may be more challenging to store the headset. Battery pouch holds my 20,000 maH battery pack and feels well balanced. if I had to complain about one thing, I wish the headset would tilt up more and have less tension. Still a 5 star product!
Kiwi Design Elite Strap
Straps for VR are a very personal thing, what some people may find comfortable, others not so much. However, I bought this for my Oculus 2 since the stock strap seems no more than some knicker elastic that has to be over tightened to provide any support. Most agree that the stock strap is one of the first things you need or should replace, this is where online video reviews come in.
This strap has a pretty universal loved rating, it’s strong, light and above all the comfort level is amazing. It’s a replacement for the official elite strap since there has bee. ‘issues’ with them Kiwi made their own, and its a thing of beauty.
Easy to use, just clips onto the standard arms of the Oculus and off you go. Once in place and tightened there is zero movement even on my big bonce it just hugs your head in a memory foam cloud.
It could be cheaper sure, but you only really get what you pay for so as far as value for money goes, I’m more than happy with the price. The only negative is the adjustment dial sticks out a little making movie watching a little uncomfortable but for gaming, working out I don’t think you’ll find a better strap unless you want a halo style then is this obviously isn’t for you.
In short…. If you need a strap (and if you’re still using stock you probably do) then buy this one, it’s comfy and so easy to use you can’t help but join the masses and love it.

I just got my quest 2 a couple days ago and one major issues I had was the battery life so I was looking for a while and most alternatives I saw looked good but most were sold out (understandable).
I then came across this, I knew of Kiwi through YouTube video recommendations so I decided to go with it and take the risk given there were no previous reviews and boy was it worth it.
It’s easy to install, feels very durable and is so much more comfortable than the original strap. It also works very well with the GETIHU powerbank I bought. I feel with the strap and powerbank it balances out the weight so it too so it isn’t too heavy on your face.
Overall a great purchase and will definitely buy from Kiwi again, should I need anything else.
However, I’m pleased to report that the Kiwi strap has fixed this issue.
Pressure is now nicely distributed between the front and back of my head – and I’ve played Resident Evil 4 sessions until the battery ran out!
However, I have to knock one point off because it doesn’t QUITE fit into the official Quest case.
I can fit everything in – but the zip won’t go the whole way around.
I travel constantly and rely on the case, so this is a little annoying.
Otherwise, it’s excellent.
So far 5 out of 5
Very comfortable – The head strap is very comfortable, the support piece at the back seemed well shaped, and the cushioning at the back of the head strap means it sits well with no discomfort. I find it much more comfortable that the original elastic head strap and the Oculus elite head strap. I can play for hours with no discomfort.
Easily adjustable – The head strap is easily adjustable with hinged pieces at either side and a turning adjuster at the back.
Sturdy and secure – With playing movement intensive games a sturdy and secure head strap is a must, and I feel that the Kiwi Designs head strap certainly fits that description. Once on I did not have to adjust and reposition my headset at all, even after active movement. The build quality and material quality seem high and even the colour of the head strap matches perfectly with the Quest 2.
Overall, very happy with the Kiwi Designs head strap.
